Fame Eau de Parfum

The house sums up Fame in three materials, one per tier: mango in the top, jasmine in the heart, incense in the base. It promises a succulent mango, an airy jasmine of exceptional purity and a creamy, sensual, addictive incense, three materials it wants in contrast.

Dora Baghriche, who co-signed the fragrance, details the accord: an incense wrapped in the warmth of sandalwood and vanilla, brightened by jasmine and mango. The base thus brings together olibanum, sandalwood and vanilla; the top comes down to mango.

What the critic perceives

Mona Mostafa, writing for iFragrance, divides the fragrance differently: a tangy mango at the start, olibanum within the first minutes alongside jasmine, sandalwood and vanilla after an hour. That is her judgment; the house places the incense in the base.

What stays out

The most widespread commercial lists add a bergamot in the top and place the incense in the heart, with jasmine; the house declares neither. The ingredient list names no citrus oil: among its fragrance components, it declares limonene, linalool and citral.
